SQL Server 2005: T-SQL to temporarily disable a trigger

Question

Is it possible to disable a trigger for a batch of commands and then enable it when the batch is done?

I\'m sure I could drop the trigger and re-add it but I was won

Answer 1

Not the best answer for batch programming, but for others finding this question in search of a quick and easy way to temporarily disable a trigger, this can be accomplished in SQL Server Management Studio.

1. expand the triggers folder on the table
2. right-click the trigger
3. disable

Follow the same process to re-enable.
